Our Promise to You
All of our products are guaranteed to be free of defects, or we will replace and reship at no cost to you.
Please contact us within 4 weeks (28 days) past the
delivery date to report any issues with items you have purchased.
Please note that some new cubes when being used for the first few times may experience what is termed a "pop".
This is when one or more parts of a puzzle pop out without any damage actually being done to any of the pieces.
This also occurs from time to time during normal usage. Pops are typically not considered a defect if the parts
which come off can be reassembled by hand.
The corners on 2x2 puzzles should not be twisted as doing so may snap the piece. Damage caused by
corner twisting is not considered to be a defect.

Customer Reviews
This is hands down the best on the market as of writing this review. I average sub 15 with it. I swapped over to this even before setting it up because it is just that much better than the regular MGC maglev. I really don’t know why someone would give this puzzle a one star review. It is worth your money if you at all take this event seriously.
good but wayyyyyyy to dry out of the box
Very fast and accurate. Would recommend. Very clacky at first needs a little lube. Better top, bottom, and middle layer rotations than the MCG maglev, but the slice isn’t as smooth. I slightly prefer the MCG because it is less clacky and has a cleaner slice. This is a great cube for anyone interested in Sq-1. The UV coating is a nice new addition and provides better grip.
The cube turns very nice and smoothly, the magnets aren't very strong, depending on your turning style it could be a bit locky, probably needs a bit of lube to make it more controllable
Overall nice cube, the UV coating feels amazing to have on a Squan
This is a great Square-1. It turns great, has a lovely UV coating, and the equator magnets help me to swap the top and bottom layers faster.
Maybe someone likes it but it came with loose magnets, wrongs color scheme, and just terrible
Thanks for your review, and I am sorry to hear about this! If you reply with your order number and some pictures or a short video demonstrating the issue, we'll make it right.

my first squan was a humble mgc that I added the missing equator magnets to then used a swiss army knife to add room for edge magnets, then maglev. i lost the cube in my room somewhere as soon as I added maglev but it was a great cube, especially with cube master's setup (code "cm" at checkout) but i kept having to get replacement edges because I did the mod where you take 1 magnet out of the slice and it made me break 2 edges and a corner. after getting this cube i realised that it was good but felt terrible ootb because in typical picube fasion it was bone dry and the tensions were too tight. after lubing with cube sauce(basically silk) and loosening the cube sounded much less annoying and perform better overall. the cube is about the same as my old mgc before the slice mod (which surprised my because I did my mods very roughly), so if you want to save money just do the mods yourself, and watch cube master's video on polishing the matte finish glossy because imho uv coating is a waste of money, but if you want everything hassle free just order the pro shop mgc because it's cheaper than the picube is lubed with weight 1 and Steven sets them up I think so it has way more aura, but maybe also checkout the mgc v2 (cube master made mods to make it really good that are in the pro shop v2 +a edge magnetisation mod, and they fixed the edge breaking issue, and if you don't try out the pro shop one try the maglev mod for it and the slice mod if you get an mgc v2 because cube master said so and I haven't tried any v2s. moreover I think this as well as both the pro shop mgc's have made ivan vanek square 1s largely irrelevant for the majority of solvers as the mods he provides are more affordable and accessible through the other options previously mentioned, however nobody else is offering magnet repulsion and weight reduction as well as dying the cube an colour you want.
lastly, here's a blurry photo of the box as proof I own this thing:
Thanks for your review! Just so you know though, Rowe sets up the Pro Shop MGCs, but I helped develop them.
